Code Profiler

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

A few years ago I used a Profiler (I forget the name) on my Delphi code at the time and got fantastic results showing both:
a) lines of code that took the longest to execute and b) lines of code that allocated the most unreleased memory.

I have looked around and am unable to find a good tool to easily achieve these statistics for my C# Winforms application. Possible reasons are that: 1) I am having difficulty finding the existing functions in a tool thet supplies them or
2) I have not yet found the tool that does actually supply them.

I also wonder if my statistic b) above is no longer able to be profiled because dotnet has a garbage collector whereas Delphi did not? Some of them seemed to say that to observe changes in memory allocation over time I needed to take "snapshots". However I can't see how that will help me with that specific requirement anyway.

The profilers I have looked at are:-
* ANTS Profiler
* AQTime
* CLR Profiler
* ProfileSharp
* SilkTest
* YourKit

Am I on the right track or have I missed the right product?

Any advice on which direction you think I should go (more time understanding or more time downloading) would be much appreciated.

cheers,
Paul.
